LOAD SETUP DEFAULTS
If you lost the CMOS data or you don’t know how to complete the setup procedure, you
may use this option to load the SETUP default values from the BIOS default table. It is
easy to load the default value, simply highlight the “LOAD SETUP DEFAULTS” field
and then press the “Enter” key, when you see the “LOAD SETUP DEFAULTS (Y/N)”
displayed on the screen, response to it with “Y” and then press the “Enter” key. The
SETUP default values will be loaded. Basically, the SETUP default settings are the
best-case values that will optimize system performance and increase system stability.
In case that the CMOS data is corrupted, the SETUP DEFAULTS settings will be
loaded automatically when you press the “Del” key and enter the main setup screen. So
you may select “SAVE & EXIT SETUP” to leave setup program and the system is
loaded with the default settings.

SUPERVISOR PASSWORD / USER PASSWORD
The “SUPERVISOR PASSWORD” and “USER PASSWORD” will be used to check
the authority when power-on. Whenever there is the password stored in either of these
fields, the correct password will be requested so that the PC system will continue to
load the operation system.
You can enter up to eight alphanumeric characters here. When you have typed in the
password and pressed the “Enter” key, you will be asked to reconfirm your password
again to complete password setup. If you press the “Enter” key twice without any
alphanumeric character entered, the PASSWORD will be disabled.
If the “User Password” and the “Supervisor Password” are both enabled and they have
different password setup, “Supervisor Password” is always has the higher priority,
Basically, an “User” is only authorized to change the content of “User Password”,
while a “Supervisor” has the authorization to dominate all settings.

IDE HDD AUTO DETECTION
In order to make the IDE hard disk known to the system, you need to tell the system
what kind of hard disk is connected to the mainboard by giving a set of hard disk
parameters. Sometimes it is not easy for users to find the proper parameters for their
IDE hard disk drive. In order to help users to find the parameters, the system BIOS
provides a convent way – the auto detection of IDE hard disk drive.
